Chick fil a is my lifeblood. Their freshly made lemonade and Polynesian dipping sauce run through my veins

If you happen by a Chick fil a at breakfast time, go in and order a chicken, egg and cheese biscuit. It will change your world

Mangianos Italian Grill ...their chopped salad is amazing

Sounds great, my 18 y o daughter & l love salad, more so than my husband & 12 y o son, but they can fill up on the carbs.

Millers ale house was a family favourite with us and they had good deals on during the week. Applebee's is a bit meh, but their cocktails are really good.

We love bahama breeze as well. Make sure you ask for the yuka fries! Amazing!

Oh and maggianos! My all time favourite!! So good and huge portions

Giordano's is great for Chicago style deep dish pizza pies where the 'crust' is almost a cross between pastry and pizza dough with all the toppings as a filling and then topped with tomato sauce and cheese - yummy!

A favourite chain restaurant for us is Chili's for a nice selection of food - their skillet Queso is a warm chili cheese dip served with tortilla chips!

I like Chick fil-A and Applebees, Cici's is okay but found it to be a cheep but slightly sub-par pizza

IHOP I love for breakfast as well as Bob Evans, and Perkins - Used to love going to Shoney's but they all seem to be shut now! I am not a lover of the grits or gravy but I do like the biscuits!

Golden Corral is great if you are really, really hungry, you get to choose from a huge selection of food, not all brilliant quality but usually very nice!

Ooh, I'm getting hungry now! - don't forget to leave room for the Cheesecake Factory!

I love Chili's!!! They are probably my favorite of the chain restaurants. At least in my top 5. I love their southwestern egg rolls! My husband is a weirdo (I jokingly call him a "food snob" ) and he is very picky about chains (he won't go to Olive Garden or Logan's or any of those). Sometimes I can drag him to Chili's, but usually I just wait until a friend wants to eat lunch and then I suggest it

They have a dessert called the molten chocolate lava cake. Be still, my heart I haven't had it in years, but I used to eat it a lot in high school, haha!

SweeT ToMatoes is a " must go " restaurant for us when we go to Florida USA.

If your husband likes beer (or yourself ) and a good variety of it, Yard House recently opened up the road at I-Drive 360.

I stayed on i-drive over Christmas and ate at:

Bubba Gump
Tony Roma's
Ruby Tuesday
Bahama Breeze
I liked them all!!

I have also eated at these places but not in Orlando and would recommend.
IHOP
Cracker Barrell
Outback Steakhouse

I ate at Fogo de Chao and it was fantastic but it was pricey, worth it my estimation, I also liked Joes Crab Shack

Have been twice with my DW and we love Red Lobster, especially there warm cheese biscuits.
Also last time we found a place called Sweet Tomatoes which is a nice alternative from all the meat with a all you can eat salad and soups, and a few other healthier options.

IHOP is a favourite for us for breakfast.

Olive Garden, Longhorn, Chillis, millers Ale House are all fairly solid.

Celebration has some nice none chains

 

[cathydisneynut]

From the OP's list, Applebees is a good pick, especially if you're staying down near US27. The kids can't wait to go back in August.

IHOP is also great for a late night dessert. Pancakes at midnight.

 

[Minniesgal]

Out must do's are

Perkins Pancakes
Smokey Bones
Bahama Breeze and Cheesecake Factory
Margharitaville

Funnily enough we don't like IHOP

We won't go hungry for sure. Thanks for all your replies.
